Meister_Leder Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Can someone tell me if the direct out on my Valve MK II Head will work properly on an active speaker system? I´m gonna play at a wedding and they dont want me to bring my 4x12. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set it to Studio/Direct, and then your master volume will ONLY affect whatever small stage speaker you use to hear yourself on stage. If they won't let you use any stage speaker, or there's no space for one, then you can ask them to give you some guitar in your monitor. Also, other bandmates may also need to hear you in their monitor so they can feel what you're playing. It will complicate the engineer's work, but it's part of their workflow, and what they get paid to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
